Firefox Bookmark Backup Reader/Decompressor

Firefox creates frequent backups of your bookmarks. Automatic backups are compressed using Mozilla's flavor of LZ4 compression (.jsonlz4 file extension), while backups you create yourself (in the Library window) are not compressed (.json file extension by default). This tool can convert a backup file to the HTML export format.

Step 1: Load File

Drag and drop one .jsonlz4 (or .json) bookmark backup file onto the empty text box, or use the Browse... button on the right.
